Doctor, doctor jokes are very old - not just in content, but as a type
too. Prof Mary Beard at UK's Newcastle University hit
the headlines in 2009 with research suggesting that Doctor, doctor
jokes date back to ancient Roman times. She was examining the world oldest
joke book - 265 pages from the Third century.

My own interest dates only from back in 1996, when
at Ultralab I had a project engaging doctors - surgeons of thoracic medicine
- in an online community of practice. It was effective and we
learned a lot. A number of folk were involved - Andy Simpson did
a lot of the work in the end.

But although the project was enjoyable, the surgeons
got a bit down - so many of their patients die - and they wanted cheering
up. So with them I set up a page on Jollyology to swap doctor doctor
jokes in a spoof research project (they contributed, were "published",
peer reviewed and could then add DJ - doctor of jollyology - to their
names!).

Great fun, I've tried to remember their best contributions below (mail
me others), but now use the jollyology domain as a link to work on Playful
Learning, which I believe to be important.

Anyway - here are a good number of Doctor, doctor jokes:

doctor doctor jokes

Doctor doctor, I feel like a carrot
• Don't get yourself
in a stew

Doctor doctor, I've swallowed my pocket money
• Take this and we'll
see if there's any change in the morning

Doctor doctor, what happened to
that man who fell into the circular saw and had the whole left side of
his body cut away? • He's all right now.
